SASH-CORD FASTENER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 299,199, dated May 27,1884. Application filcd January 7, 1884. (No model.)

To ail whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, RosWnLL N. BROWN, of the village of Hoosick Falls,county of Reusselaer, and State of New York, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in At tachments for Sasl1-Oords for XVindows;and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, making a part of this specification, in which Figure l is aperspective of the attachment .with the. cord in place. Fig. 2 is a viewin perspective of a portion of the sash-stile and the cord and itsfastening inserted therein. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal cross-section onthe line a: a2, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a sectional view of Fig. 2 with thecord removed. Fig. 5 is a view in perspective of the cord-holder withthe cord removed.

Similarlctters of reference refer to the same parts in the severalfigures.

The nature and object of the invention is to furnish a cheap attachmentof sash-cord to window-sash, when weights are used to balance the weightof the sash, and one that will not wear out the cord where it isattached to the sash.

A represents a portion of the saslrstile, and into the edge of this isinserted by a mortise a metal piece, B, made with a curved end and ashank or neck, B. This shank affords protection for the cord andprevents the cordholder from turning. This piece is furnished with ascore to receive the cord, and also a fixed central boss, 6. The scoreis formed between the outer rim of B and the fixed center. Through thisfixed centerb is a hole, I), through which is passed a screw, to holdthe attachment and cord in place in the stile, as shown The cord leadsfrom the circular portion along the score in the shank portion B, andthrough a groove cut in the stile tothe top of the rail,

and thence over the pulley, to receive the weight. In cases where thesash is very heavy it may be necessary to hold the cord more firmly thanit will be held by its being curved around the circular portion of theholder. For this purpose I furnish the bottom of the score with one ormore points, 0, which will pierce the cord, and thus make its slippingout impossible.

The cord-holder is inserted into the edge of the stile in such a way asto cover the cord, the bottom of the mortise in the stile forming oneside of the cavity in which the cord is held and against which it isclamped.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim therein as new,and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isp 1. A sash-cord holdercomprising a circular portion having a circular groove and a centralboss therein, and a rectangular portion, grooved also, for the receptionof a cord, substantially as described.

2. A sash-cord holder having a rectangular grooved part, B, acircular-part, B, provided with a circular groove, and points 0,projecting therein, and a central boss, I), provided with a centralperforation for the passage of ascrew, whereby the device is secured toa window stile, substantially as described.
